  • How to choose between stainless steel vs aluminum Apple Watches

    CottonballCottonball
    I'm now on my fourth Apple Watch (a Series 4).  Each has been Space Grey Aluminum.  Not one has scratches on the case or glass.  Admittedly I take very good care, but do not baby them.  And since i get a new series each year, (1) I'm not so concerned about any blemishes that may appear and (2) I can't justify the extra couple hundred dollar premium for the SS.

    I bought my very first ever Apple silicone case just a month ago for my 6s Plus only because I needed a change and it was a discounted “open box” item at Best Buy and I gotta say, at first I liked it a lot. But after about a week, it didn’t feel the same. Now when I touch it, I feel like my hands are grimy and dirty. I feel like it holds onto dirt and dust and skin oils very easily. AND it pulls the entire pocket lining out of my pants every time I pull the phone out. It’s very annoying! 

    So I will be going back to a new Speck case (my favorite) unless.....I upgrade my phone. Im not a big fan of the notch or the rear camera, BUT.....stay tuned... :wink: 
    Conversely, I bought a white silicon Apple case for my germaphobic friend and her new iPhone 7 last year.  And, it still looks and feels great!   She discards stuff at the slightest evidence of dirt or grime -- but she still loves this case.

    I am impressed with Apple and this case, I never expected it a white case to hold up so well.
    That’s very odd LOL Yeah, I’m not liking it at all. It feels very dirty and the most annoying part is the pocket thing. Maybe she keeps it in a purse, that would eliminate that problem at least.

    They do have a beautiful, soft microfiber lining on the inside, though. And the shape has been holding up extremely well, no deformation around the volume buttons as is the case with a lot of other cases out there. So they did a great job there. 
    I switched from leather to silicon a couple years ago because I found the leather case to be too slippery and I nearly dropped my iPhone a couple times.  I've not had that problem with the silicon.  Oh, and I've never had the grimy/dirty experience.  And it's held up well (two years).
